Course Description

About the course

Students today can freely access powerful Generative AI models such as ChatGPT (OpenAI), Copilot (GitHub), CodeWhisperer (Amazon), and Codeium. These tools use Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate plausible (but not always correct) solutions to a wide range of typical problems in programming courses, including tracing, explaining, writing, and debugging code. This workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to the usage of these tools by faculty, as well as potential (mis)use of these tools by students. In addition, it will explore new forms of programming assignments that can be considered now that such code-writing tools are available for students.
